Yeah, I did it. So what? :P

Momma sent me a thing from Groupon- are you familiar with them? Groupon.com if you aren't. Check it. At the very least, it's entertaining writing. The *thing* she sent was for a position being a writer-upper for their *things*. I'm very technical this afternoon, I know. Just try to keep up, would ya?
Anyway- so I did it. I applied. Big freakin whoop, right?
I re-read what I sent and I have to say, although I find myself to be "easily entertained", I was entertained by what I re-read! I even giggled at me! This is important for what reason, you're asking? Well, because. Here's why.
My practice audience doesn't give me much to go on. Cullen has a learning disability---and I blame that for his lack of ability to care much at all about creative writing. He doesn't. He had THE blankest look on his face when I read my Groupon sample to him. In fact, the first time, he was sweet enough to be reading something else entirely while I read it to him. I looked at him expectantly, and when he realized I was reading something that required feedback, he sheepishly admitted to not listening and asked me to re read it. He gave him his full attention the second time, and when I got done, he still had that blank look on his face. Then he uttered "I don't get it." I sighed heavily, and took each section apart for him, while he nodded and tried to look encouraging.
The good thing about all that nonsense is that I did not take that to mean that my writing sucks so much that he didn't understand a thing I said. No, I know better than that. I know it's him. So my other two audience members were a little more interested, but at 9 and 7, they listened and wanted to know when we can go to Georgia so we can visit the Sea Kayak place. They did not have much to offer me on what I actually wrote. Oh, sure, I could bounce it off of MFN or any of my creative minded friends, but that's cheating anyway. If I WERE to get this position (and I'm sure hundred will apply and my chances are slim and that's okay), I wouldn't be double checking my shit with anyone around me anyway. I know good when I read good.

And guess what?
I'm good.
